“I never want to become a teacher.” — 20 year old me.I stood at a crossroads as a junior in college. Organic Chemistry had destroyed any hope I had of going to medical school. I had declared Biology as my major, but I began to have second thoughts. I fell back on the thing I was good at, which was Mathematics. Still, I wasn’t sure what I would do with that degree.I thought about becoming a teacher, but the more I thought about it the more I didn’t want to do it. I thought I would be good at…See More

"Thanks Joseph, Aaron, and Dongie!
@Dongie: Making a schedule was really important, especially when you're really busy. It even makes it easier to set aside free time, cause everyone needs some of that. The schedule really stuck with me though.…"

"Thanks for sharing, this was a great read. Congratulations on your (first?) teaching experience.
Also congrats on being able to stick to your plan! Whenever things get hectic for me, gym time is the first to be sacrificed unfortunately."

When I first started learning Ruby on Rails back in 2007, one thing was made clear: don’t even try setting it up on a Windows machine. Since then, we had some open source projects like RailsInstaller that make it really easy to set up a development environment on your machine. Also, with the advent of virtual machines and Vagrant, it is really easy to get a Linux environment set up regardless of what operating…See More

People who know me know that I’ve been pretty busy lately. People who really know me know that I’m actually slammed. Yet, I’m taking a personal challenge to complete a small application in the month of March. As it turns out, I have an idea for a small bite-sized application that I can build in a month. It’s also a great chance to challenge myself to learn new frameworks and libraries.The ProblemI’ve been tracking the things I learn in a given day in a small…See More

"Its exciting that Nodeschool has this level of traction in Honolulu! I was happy to hear that Dev League incorporated Node.js into their curriculum and that local companies like Slickage are using it in production apps."

At the time of this writing, we have had two Nodeschool events here in sunny Honolulu, so tl;dr it’s been pretty successful. Admittedly, I had concerns going in to the first event. Sure, Nodeschool has been successful worldwide with new chapters opening every day, but that doesn’t mean it’d be a guaranteed success. Being the organizer for Ohana.js (our local Javascript user’s…See More

For whatever reason, testing did not seem to be a focal part of Apple's development tools until Xcode 5. Prior to then, tests were typically implemented using OCUnit, but it was difficult to integrate with the Cocoa framework. That changed in Xcode 5, where OCUnit was swapped out for XCTest and…See More
